They have a case if he goes against Congress and intelligence. They don’t if Netanyahu breaches a ceasefire agreement or negotiates in bad faith. In trial, POTUS can’t substantiate a decision based on intelligence outside of the State Department or recorded first-hand experiences. The ICC and the UN are not considered applicable intelligence if their findings are not included in the State Department report.
Biden reinstated the law against Israeli settlements that Trump repealed, so expansion is off the table. Israel can only negotiate for hostage return and ceasing inbound attacks. That’s why Israel’s far-right wants to avoid documented negotiations.
Whether there is a law against settlements is irrelevant. Every Israeli government expands settlements, they’re not going to stop because they know the US will always support them.
Netanyahu in particular is not constrained by the idea of the rule of law.
Republicans will try to impeach him regardless, that’s kind of irrelevant.

He may not be, but ceasefire agreements are exactly that.
